It's a dark night, as I fly into the Salvatore boarding house where Stefan and I grew up in, as a big, black crow. And then, as I land inside, I turn back into my human-looking self.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCGxeLrZgbS
"Hello, brother," I greet, as I look at Stefan, my only brother.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0REH5vNinS
"What are you doing here, Damon?" Stefan asks me.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvs2JBPqUZw
"I could ask you the same thing," I answer. "I think it could all be summed up into one little word. Elena."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcIEY38ri4N
"Stay away from Elena," he warns me.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttNq5rNOZB
"Come on. Don't you want to know what her blood tastes like? Just one drink."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHc0G8qDOX
"Stop it," he says.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgL2RYi7wKN
"I wonder what her blood tastes like!" I announce, continuing on as if I didn't hear him.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo2p4ADBEgP
"I said, stop it!" he yells and grabs me.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGhz1UiYTr
We fall out of the window onto the ground below and stand up, facing one another.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXszi0mIJB
"Not bad. Have you been eating bunnies?" I say.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTGODV7RBZ
We fight some and I win because he has had enough.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvAk0fBdxH
"Where's your ring at?" I ask. "The sun's coming up in a few hours and if you're not wearing it, you'll be crispy fried."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00usvd5ede
He looks worried, so I say, "Relax. I have it right here," handing it over to him.
The next day, Elena comes into our house looking for Stefan. I greet her when I see her saying, "I'm Damon. Stefan's brother."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDKQeIJVfr
"He didn't mention he had a brother," she replies.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqCyqrVyPnq
I tell her that Stefan has an ex-girlfriend, though I don't say her name.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTFYLO85iz
"Ex?"556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgqfxYxDLfY
"Oh, you two haven't had the awkward ex conversation. Well, I guess it'll come up now."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEq6NI3WcR
Stefan arrives.
I explain to her, "I could get the family photo albums out, but I'll warn you, he wasn't always a looker."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPvb8lRjy6W
"Damon," Stefan tells me in warning.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡumgasEdFKX
I kiss her hand.556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdu1IDxLIs
"Pleasure meeting you, Elena."556Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcwCLC8DGcq
I walk off.
Later, when Stefan locks me in the cell after vervaining me, I am able to get out of the cell and I kill our Uncle Zack.
